Print Issue #24: Australian Fashion’s New World Order

Our summer print edition is now available in cafes, restaurants, bars, shops and hotels across Melbourne. It’s filled with everything that makes this time of the year so good, from staggeringly beautiful travel destinations to breezy summer threads and thirst-quenching drinks. We bring you face to face with a new generation of Australian fashion labels experiencing meteoric global success, and take a closer look at a much-hyped new restaurant doing things differently. We also visit a Yarraville factory producing some of the best artist’s paints in the world, and round up the white-bread sandwiches appearing in some of Australia’s best restaurants. Catch up below. [Australian Fashion’s New World Order Young, savvy Australian labels are dispensing with traditional retail stepping stones in favour of a direct-to-consumer model and immediate access to billions of potential customers. The meteoric success they’re achieving is completely unprecedented – not just in the context of Australia, but the world.]( [A Closer Look: Lesa It didn’t happen overnight, but the opening of the Embla crew’s intimate upstairs dining room did happen. It was worth the wait.]( [Unwined With Mike Bennie Six drinks to take to the beach, the park or a backyard barbeque this summer.]( [Dreaming in Colour At a small, nondescript factory in Melbourne, David Coles uses exotic pigments such as brazilwood and lapis lazuli to make some of the best artist paints in the world.

Here are seven of the best right now.]( [Which Reusable Coffee Cup Is for You? There’s a plethora of cups on the market. But whether you go for plastic, glass or ceramic, you’ll end up with a tough choice between cups that look similar and cost similar amounts. We enlisted our resident coffee-writer test eight of the most popular brands and report back.]( [Sal Salis, Ningaloo Reef This 15-tent eco-resort is a unique base from which to explore Australia’s other great reef and, at the right time of year, swim with its famous whale sharks.]( [Yelle Will Say Whatever They Want Electro-pop legends Yelle are appearing at So Frenchy, So Chic in 2019. We speak to lead singer Julie Budet about playing with expectations.]( [Work Uniform: Tom Riley The Australian director of P Johnson Tailors has a “scruffy” sense of style that nonethless has a casual sense of elegance about it.]( [How It’s Made: Attica’s Whipped Emu Egg Trust Ben Shewry, the creative chef behind Attica, to come up with an emu-egg dessert. Each mouthful swerves between savoury and sweet, airy and smooth. We can see why this has been a favourite on the 17-course menu since it was introduced 18 months ago.]( [The Weight of Numbers Sometimes the simplest inventions are also the most useful. Case in point: the YBell, a new four-in-one weight created by an Australian personal trainer.]( [Big Fish in Small Ponds Shockingly, more than half of barramundi consumed in Australia come from overseas farms, with little transparency around how the fish are raised.
